Kelsea Ballerini is on the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce train.
“I love Travis. We did SNL together. I love Taylor. We were close for many years. I want happiness for everyone, so vibe,” the country star told Extra on the red carpet at the first People’s Choice Country Awards.
Ballerini was also discussed Swift’s rumored romance by Access Hollywood, with the interviewer asking, “Do you ship this?”
“I ship happiness!” Ballerini responded. “Whoever is happy with whoever is what I ship. I adore Taylor. I adore Travis. So if they’re happy, I ship it. Period.”
She also opened up a bit about her relationship with Outer Banks star Chase Stokes, noting that she attended the show solo because the actor is in Los Angeles. “He was here for rehearsals. It was his first time at the Opry, so it was fun showing him around when it was much calmer. He’s doing his thing and I’m doing mine.”
Ballerini also noted that Stokes is, in fact, a country fan. “He grew up in Georgia, so I got me a country boy, don’t worry,” she gushed.
The singer is performing at the inaugural awards show, hosted by Little Big Town. Brothers Osborne will present the Country Champion award to Wynonna Judd. Blake Shelton will present the Country Icon award to Toby Keith.
